@ceritheviking I think it's more to do with the population density on the other side once all redevelopment work is complete. The scale of change on the eastern side of the river will be huge, and providing access to ferry road shopping centre and the leisure development will be important.
@ceritheviking It should be part of the wider socio-economic zoning of South Wales, integration of utilities services, industrial capacity building and social cohesion with an offsetting reduction in government infrastructure servicing it.
@BO3673@edwardstrngr65@JohnHealey_MP I'll be amazed if there is any kind of additional freedom, when you consider the parlous state of government finances and the departments inability to manage project cost over runs.
@thinkdefence@MtarfaL These could be acquired and alongside in very short order, they don't need to be built, there are plenty of examples that could be repurposed iteratively. MV cragside is an outstanding example of figuring it out using a great base platform and cross decking what's available.
@GoetersFourTwo@SamWalksALot Been doing the circular walk at least once a year for the last 25 years, always say hello to Margret and Bernard in their wonderful farm. One of the best places to get grounded when things get a little bumpy.
@edwardstrngr65 It completely chilled UK leadership to the core, to take a bold position on anything rather than treat these issues the same as any other corporate risk with risk mitigation to minimise. All for fear of offending those who are unashamed in their ability to be offended.
Lovely stuff. Again. The WRU via WOL are determined to keep the chaos running & to ensure that any stability is crushed. There are times when I wish it was easy to walk away from this shitshow.
@MtarfaL This was the basis of the MV cragside solution the USN procured and iterated, we've been talking about an almost identical solution since Gavin Williamson and done nothing other than talk about it.
@CapS45 Lots to reflect upon, we need a new third way, where community and professional rugby understand and support each others roles, the WRU pitting the factions against each other only perpetuates the current malaise.

It has been a consistent block by the Treasury that the MOD can have AUKUS subs or GCAP or major reductions in Army. But they cant have all three. We are about to witness a classic fudge that will lead to deep hollowing out. The Government is preparing to push GCAP to the right and string it out with incremental work and no clear guarantees to commit to it. They will be hoping that Japan ( who cannot tolerate an extended time line) will pull out and blame can be avoided. The authors of the SDSR were clear on the funding levels needed. £16/18bn over 4 years wont cut it.
